600140 Lily of the valley – pin cushion

Known as the most expensive metal after gold and silver, tin is very malleable and flexible. Though having nearly the whiteness of silver, it does not rust easily nor will air tarnish it readily. It is significantly antibacterial, and also known as a material with high heat conductivity. Pure tin ware is hygienic, washable and safe for serving foods. NOUSAKU uses pure tin. It is common to add other metallic materials to provide durability and facilitate cutting work, but NOUSAKU uses tin without such additives. Accumulated experience of skilled craftsmen enables us to produce these unique pieces. The stiletto is made using traditional casting technique which has been passed down through generations for over 400 years in Takaoka, Japan.
